Install on macOS

Open the .dmg, drag the app to Applications and allow it the first time you open it.

You need macOS 13 (Ventura) or later, on a Mac with Apple Silicon (M1 or later).

  1. Download the .dmg from Download. It's called Himnova-Live-mac-arm64.dmg.

  2. Open it and drag Himnova Live onto the Applications folder next to it.

  3. Open Himnova Live from Applications. The first time, macOS won't open it because it isn't signed by Apple yet. Close the warning.

  4. Go to System Settings › Privacy & Security, scroll down to the message about Himnova Live and click Open Anyway. If it asks for your password, enter it.

  5. That's it. From now on it opens like any other app.

Tip: You see the warning because Apple's signing costs money every year and the project doesn't have it yet. The code is public, and anyone can review it.

If you had WorshipApp

Himnova Live uses the same data as WorshipApp, but the app itself has a new name. After you install it, delete WorshipApp from Applications so you don't end up with both.
